Effects of chamber shape and fiber orientation on relations between fiber dynamics and chamber dynamics.

abstract：:Past literature has provided evidence that a normal mechanical force environment of blood flow may guide normal development while an abnormal environment can lead to congenital malformations, thus warranting further studies on embryonic cardiovascular flow dynamics. In the current study, we developed a non-invasive 4D...
